Went to get in car today and there was a clicking noise, the lock on the door was moving up and down. Inserted key and tried to start and nothing would happen, opened hood and the clicking was coming from the fuse box. Thought it may need new battery, replaced. Now I try to start and it will turn over, interior lights come on but still will not turn over and still getting a clicking noise from fuse box. The clicking noise continued even when the key was not in ignition only stopped when removed the old battery. Now that the new battery is in the clicking only happens when the key is turned to accessory position. Switched starter relays did not help

Then the next thing to check is the starter itself, are you hearing any popping noises from the base of the motor? The starter should not be hard to change. Once you pull it out you can take it to the autozone and they can test it for you. The starter solenoid may be bad also, but these are normally attached to the starter. I hope this helps give you some insight.

Have you checked the starter solenoid. Your battery + cable connects to this then + cable runs from it to your starter. You also have an ignition switch wire connected to this. Just follow your cable from the battery and it will lead you right to the part. Some times these will break inside or the contacts go bad inside and therefore you will not get power to start the engine, but you will have power to turn on lights or whatever other accessories.The part is about $15

A mechanic would check for voltage at the starter, the neutral safety switch, and the key switch. Also check the ground connections.
